Upscaled Lattice Boltzmann Method for simulations of flows in heterogeneous porous media

An upscaled Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for flow simulations in heterogeneous porous media at the Darcy scale is proposed in this paper. In the Darcy scale simulations, the Shan-Chen force model is used to simplify the algorithm. The proposed upscaled LBM uses coarser grids to represent the avera...
